I lost my dad unexpectedly 10 years ago a couple months before my wedding, I wrote an email and sent a real letter to Pearl Jam, telling the whole story and asked them to play release in Worcester on 2013 tour. I got email back from the 10c saying they passed it onto the band. When they played it that night I was with my best friend who introduced me to Pearl Jam in 8th grade, my sister and my wife and I have never been hit with that much emotion in my life until I heard this album, so its ok to cry. Music is a powerful release and healing power, Everyone enjoy this ride !!
That is a pretty intense story - thank you for sharing it.

These guys. They actually did it. After all this time.
First listen this morning during a sunrise run. Spotify on pixel buds. Outside noise, plus I want to survive this but I think I can hear everything well.
First two tracks got my pace up and I'm loving the guitars. RR drumming and bass. Headphones FTW.
Wreckage comes on as I round a corner, the sun is coming up over a body of water and I see a couple of pelicans. I almost lose it. Those harmonies.
That mid tempo run through the middle is a delight and I've ran further than I meant too. Those melodies. Can't wait for a proper open back headphone listen later tonight.
WFS comes on for the one of the final hills on the way back home. I think I'm f*n flying or crying. Those sustained vocal notes. Those drums. That bass.
Running we know, and I get a final push.
I'm delirious for GtG ( I think) need to revisit. Triumphant.
By now I'm back home stretching for setting sun. I start openly weeping. Is it the endorphins? OR the fact that this takes me back to those early years and hearing those first 5 albums for the first time without leaks or social media.

I just got back from listening to the CD in my car (yes, I have a CD player in my "newer" car) with the windows down and wind blowing through what hair I have left. It's been said by others but I also got emotional.
I think it's the realization that the band that I first saw live when I was 16 is still making music that's this good and meaningful to me so many years later. I've grown up and matured with this band. I have one kid who just turned 21 this week and another who will be graduating high school in a couple months. It's crazy that at 47 I know I'm still going to be able to enjoy shows with my kids later this year who are now older than I was when I first saw them.
Anyways, thanks for letting me experience this great moment with so many of you.

I still haven't listened to the leak, though I can't recall a time in recent memory where I was looking so forward to hearing an album for a second time (after the first listen over shitty theater speakers).
The amount of hardcore chills I've gotten from the last 1:30 of Wreckage is surreal. Did you ever think you'd get this excited from a Pearl Jam album again?

Poor Ed is dadding so hard right now. His wife and daughters are probably more pumped about Tay Tay’s drop than his own.

This is it. the full circle nature of it. Plus the music is rad.
